The economists, who are currently increase to an increase in the statutory retirement age to 67, forget a fact: an even increase for everyone would be extremely unfair, it is not reasonable. Because: life expectancy and therefore the pension duration differs considerably, depending on the training and the work.
Statistics Austria has determined the life expectancy of the Austrians for the “Kroon” after the highest completed training. The results are clear – and frightening: anyone who has only completed the compulsory school or a apprenticeship lives considerably shorter than rhythms or academics. For the first time we have the concrete figures and we analyze the professions for which an increase in the age of pensions would be unreasonable.
